On the latest Business podcast, Aditya Chakrabortty is joined by Dan Roberts, Heather Stewart and Nick Cohen to talk pounds and economic sense.
We begin by discussing the precarious state of the pound. Sterling took a dive at the start of the week amid growing fears of a hung parliament. Was this just a wobble on the exchange markets, or is the future for Britain's currency bleak?
Plus, just six weeks ahead of a general election, precious little is know about what shadow chancellor George Osborne has up his sleeve should he take up residence at the Number 11 Downing Street. We analyse the Tories' economic policies - or lack thereof - and ask, why is there such a vacuum at the heart of the Conservatives?
Finally, we turn our attention to New York, where Andrew Clark has been exploring some of the knock-on effects following the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
